Senior QA working for America's Army... We developed Army recruitment software/video games and I had to test the game! I even got to bring in my own guns in so they could 3D model them! 
It didn't pay as much as my previous jobs where I did automation stuff at Adobe, but it paid all the bills and left me enough to buy toys which is good enough for me!
The place was awesome! We had a 3D capture room, the rest of the building was dimly lit and there was camo, fake guns, posters with guns, and we all got our own large offices. I almost forgot, we were on the 4th floor in a building in Emeryville so we had a spectacular view of the Golden Gate and the entire SF city scape out of our windows! (There was the freeway right below our building which separated us from the water which made our view "A million dollar view" as my old boss called it. It was a fun job, too. It was all great until they cut a bunch of jobs and lowered the funding... Its a shame that it had to happen.
Hating your job is the worst thing ever, you don't want to wake up in the morning, you dread going there, you can't wait to leave, etc...
Loving your job is the best thing ever. Considering how much time you spend there, I'll take a pay cut to enjoy my job!

Rally car navi is up there. No a high paying gig, in fact the opposite. Good times, though.
Working for HIN when I took a break from automotive was fun. Travel the country, build cool stuff, screw around a lot and get paid junk money. It was a perfect break.
Running a Subaru tuner was probably the best, though. Until the owner and I decided he was/is an idiot. Then it was all downhill.
w00t!

I work as a project manager for Google. It's a pretty sweet job. Long hours and pretty stressful at times but the benefits out-way the negatives pretty handedly.
I was sent to India for 6 months and got to travel all around that side of the world on my weekends. Nepal, Thailand, Mt. Everest, Goa, Mumbai, Taj Mahal, etc. Amazing trip
